An owl’s infatuation with a child’s stick horse has enamored social media users. Last week, a Facebook user by the name of Eric Lind uploaded a video and image of the owl, writing:

Current situation at my parents house…..the young neighborhood owl has stolen this stick horse and is flying around the neighborhood with it. Hilldale/Forest Park/Ridge lane neighbors…if your child is missing their stick horse, you’ll have to talk to the owl!! 🦉

At first glance (and so very seasonal!) the owl almost looks like a witch flying on a broomstick.

I thought the owl had flown to a local carnival and decapitated a harnessed camel.

14. Well, it is mating season for them...

But Yikes! That would be something! Imagine the scary stories you could make up about it to freak out magats!

I hope it isn't a case where the owl is stuck with it or something, hope it can let go of it.

17. It hadn't occurred to me that it might be stuck.

But it might well be. I hope not, as well.

23. According to Mr. Lind, the horse doesn't seem to be stuck.

I don't have Facebook, but the following piece quotes him as saying that he saw the owl shifting its grip on the stick.
